Piemonte doc cortese Marengo BRUT

Variety - Cortese

Region - Piedmont – Acqui Terme Acquesi only produces DOC and DOCG wines from the region of Piedmont.

Soil Piedmont is a diverse region with many microclimates. Monferrato Area, in the Province of Asti and Alessandria, is one of the most famous grape-growing areas of Piedmont, and recently declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. The soil consists of calcareous and limestone, resulting in fresh, fruity wines with a unique minerality.

Winemaking & Metodo Martinotti Acquesi is produced using Metodo Martinotti in which the brief secondary fermentation takes place in large vats, preserving all the natural aromas. The must goes through a cold fermentation to achieve the proper balance of flavor, aroma, fruit, and delicate perlage.

History In 1895, the Italian oenologist Federico Martinotti, from the Province of Asti, invented the world famous method for sparkling wine based on controlled fermentation in large vats. 20 miles away and a little over 50 years later, Acquesi was founded in Acqui Terme, Piedmont in 1952. We have recently re-launched this brand with its iconic, Liberty Style design, dating back to the early 1900s from the city of Turin, Italy. Our unforgettable floral pattern symbolizes this period’s elegance and joy.

Alcohol: 11%
